There is a large collection of documented demos available: [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/src/master/python/demo/documented/) (some of them are available as html: [Demos — DOLFIN documentation](https://fenicsproject.org/olddocs/dolfin/latest/python/demos.html)).

As the current development version of dolfin, [dolfin-x](https://github.com/FEniCS/dolfinx) is the only version being worked on by core developers atm, there is a prototype tutorial based on the FEniCS tutorial available at: [The FEniCS-X tutorial — FEniCS-X tutorial](https://jorgensd.github.io/dolfinx-tutorial/).

You can of course also use older versions of dolfin matching for instance the [FEniCS tutorial](https://fenicsproject.org/tutorial/) using docker and the image `quay.io/fenicsproject/stable:2016.2.0.r3`
